Adult orthodontic treatments

Adult orthodontic treatments

If you are in the category of those who did not wear braces as a child, there is no reason to worry.

Learn that there is no "right age" to start orthodontic treatment, there is only the "right time" and the personal decision of each of us. Our teeth move at all ages, so there does not seem to be an age limit. At any age, depending on the condition or problem you have, there is the possibility to have your teeth fixed.

In addition to the excellent aesthetic effect, orthodontic treatment has the advantage that it can help patients maintain their teeth for the rest of their lives. Research has shown that after orthodontic treatment, adults and children are more motivated to take care of their teeth more meticulously.

 

In recent years orthodontics has evolved to such an extent that the options are almost invisible! Your orthodontist will decide which one is right for you. So what are the most common methods to have the smile we have always dreamed of:


Metal / conventional braces: They are glued to the outer surface of the teeth and is the most common and most economical method. Their current form is smaller and more elegant than in the past and they are suitable in all cases.

 

Invisible braces (invisalign): This is an innovative method, which can be used to treat mild to complex problems. They consist of a series of completely transparent splints, which are made exclusively for each patient.

 

Ceramic braces: They have transparent supports, they are discreet and for this reason they are quite preferred by adults.

 

Tongue braces: They have a special feature, that they are placed on the back of the teeth and not on the front, like the other types and so they are invisible. An important advantage is that they correct the teeth without being noticed, which is why they are much preferred by adults.
